Any indictment would be historic : No former American president has been indicted, and any charges are sure to upend the 2024 race for the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump is completely innocent, he did nothing wrong, and even the biggest, most Radical Left Democrats are making that clear, Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for his campaign, said in a statement. From Russia, Russia, Russia, to the Mueller Hoax, to Impeachment Hoaxes 1 and 2, and even the Unlawful Mar-a-Lago Raid, Democrats have investigated and attacked President Trump since before he was elected and theyve failed every time.

Its one of several ongoing investigations into Trumps behavior, including his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia and an inquiry into dozens of classified documents held at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, after he left the White House.

The New York Times reported Thursday that the Trump camp is preparing for a broad attack against Bragg and other prosecutors in his office, aiming to smear the group as Democratic assassins in an effort to flame outrage among his supporters. Trumps team hopes to tie any charges from the investigation to President Joe Biden , the paper added, in an attempt to make any indictment seem like a political attack.

Cheungs statement Thursday appeared to be the first prong of that attack, claiming Bragg was making a political donation of a different kind to Biden and threatening that Trumps supporters wouldnt tolerate any indictment.
